Abstract :

Habit movement is  inseparable process .  But in the urban context of developing societies, displacement in the form of forced migration and entry  emerging neighborhoods is an event worthy of consideration in the cultural context.  The emotional theories of sociology  of the concepts of "feeling of isolation" and "feeling of being at home or not" are of interest to interpret the mentality and lived experience  during people movement. Peter Berger and Thomas Luckman refer  feelings of alienation as mechanisms that led to a "crisis of meaning". The question that  be asked, does the citizen with the experience of migration in the hometown (in a short distance dimension) face the feeling of isolation, lack of belonging, "feeling not at home"?  Our assumption is that the urban citizen experiences the sadness of homesickness and retrospection in his homeland through "intro-urban relocation" by urban developing. The research community, here, the citizen has the experience  moving from the traditional neighborhoods from the west, southwest and the central core of Tehran,and entered  emerging neighborhoods, BaghFaiz (Area 5 of Tehran Municipality), in the words of the neighborhoods that have evolved from the township to the city, that have given to today's structure and texture. Therefore, in order to understand the mentality and lived experience of the displacing, relying on other philosophical views and Bourdieu's theories, due to the change in lifestyle, let's decipher the feeling in the framework of the concepts of "feeling of isolation" and "feeling of being at home or not" of sociology
